Horse Sense

 

I expect when we reflect,

a horse carries this song

more beautifully true

than any mere human actor

could try to!

 

I found this horse

I'll call him Bob

after Dylan,

i'm sure he'd be a fan

Just like all them other horses

grown tired of man

 

Like me Bob's skived off up here

to escape, basking under sun,

catching the high breezes

alone he's free,

living just as he pleases,

 

Here sits his throne,

with out a worry,

adorned in natural luxury.

Letting the world go, distant and

tiny, wide and calm in panorama

all at once around way below,

Clear so far off up here

sitting a top Sí Mór.

 

Stoic, he will not speak but listens,

then rolling to scratch his back in pleasures

innate and most content!

 

Born is he to nature's honesty,

living each day's constant commune,

Thru' intimate nibbling kisses

he whispers, tenderly into

her wet and earthen grassy ear,

whispers so quiet, I wish to hear?!

 

But with a horse sense grin

his secrets pass on to rest within.

this hill of Si Mhor's

ancient bedded blanket,

could you ever hope to hear,

their sweet pillow talk!

 

So thanks, to you, Bob Dylan the Horse!

(3rd May 2020)

 

Shot up on Sí Mhór, an ancient fairy hill in Leitrim Ireland, where I live.

 

(I came across him all of a sudden, as tired and stumbling, I reached the top of si mhor hill, he stopped rolling on his back in private ecstasy, I realised I had accidentally appeared to close to him really, so I just dropped down still and set up my camera with out looking at him directly, and graciously he allowed me shoot, I gave him an apple after and he walked up passing me slowly in a subtle acclimatisation of regard, as I sat below him I had to trust in the mercy of his hoofed feet! Calmly he passed in tall dignity, he went on up against a rise in the hill and took a long carefree piss on the head of Si Mhor!

 

There is a group of young horses who live on this ancient hill, playfully following the language of each other's curiosity each day. The farmer below who breeds them probably doesn't make much money from them in a hurry, but at night I bet he can dream he is a horse!)

Here also is a link to a book I like the sound of that Bob Dylan wrote & I bet will chime with this subject!
